Playing second fiddle

Wonder why
I’m going in so deep
My soul starts to seep
And ooze
With more than enough to lose

]]>If you say “there’s no new way”
How did we ever get on?
If you say “there’s no knew way”
How did we get it on?
Sometimes the air is thick
With an error of logic
Think quick!
If you say “care for no one”
How did we ever get known?
If you say “don’t care no, none”
Victory is never won/one
Sometimes the air is thick
With an error of logic
Think quick!

Weather the stormy whether
Forever
Can our human rights embrace
And hatred start to wane
Everything we said
Finally put to bed?
Let’s get together
Weather the stormy whether

Can we finally get a taste
Of everything we waste
The riot act read
Finally put to bed?
Let’s get together
Weather the stormy whether
Forever
Can we really get some space
To enjoy the human race
Before we’re dead
Finally put to bed?
Let’s get together
Weather the stormy whether
Forever

Growing old is getting old
Mother Goose is cooked
Bother is overlooked
Turn the page on age
Sunrise in the east set in the west
Forgetting your lover is probably best
Move on to the next get on with the rest
I don’t know why your dreams ran dry
Never too late to give ‘er a try
Mother Goose on the loose
Wiggle out of your noose
Turn the page on age
Imagine you learn how to pretend
Sign, seal and then you send
Mother Goose on the loose
Wiggle out of your noose
Turn the page on age
Sunrise in the east set in the west
Forget her is likely best
Get on with the rest

I forget what I was going to do
Please tell me, tell me, tell me true
Then, it all comes rushing back
… all comes flooding back
Lapse in memory attack
Hands are wrung on the tip-of-my-tongue
Mental trip… more than a Freudian slip
Then, it all comes rushing back
… all comes flooding back
Lapse in memory attack
Lapse
Hard to grasp
Think fast
I forget what I was thinking of…
Of course, what other than a song of love
Yeah, it all comes rushing back

Afraid he’s going to fall
Stammer and stutters to stall

If he can’t think of something “knew”
Rocking for good times

For playing the blues
Going full throttle at all time
Strumming rhythms, spitting rhymes
Signs we’re coming on good times
Knowing what to do
Thinking of something “knew”

Is everyone asking
“Can I have what he’s having?”
Ever since birth
Always I’m basking
Getting high on living
Found the real deal
Young as you feel
Getting real
For crying out loud
Don’t brag “I’m proud”
Better to fumble being humble
And for Christ sake
Rather give than take
Let love rain/reign from above
Found the real deal
Young as you feel
Getting real

]]>Well, oh, well
The well’s run dry
No matter how hard you try
Hell! To Hell!
We’re all gonna die
Get ready to say goodbye
When it reigns, we’re poor
Now it rains no more
Parched from war and gore
Show me to the door
Well, oh, well
The well’s run dry
A deep breath for a sigh
Yell n’ yell
Your tongue will fry
Get ready to say goodby
When it reigns, we’re poor
Now it rains no more
Parched from war and gore
Show me to the door

Borders insane
Numb or dumb?

Forgive the debtor

We’ll do unto them
As we wish them
To do to us
The rub of love

Will never get the best of me

Start shrinking
All that’s gone wrong
Understand
North of the Rio Grande
If there’s a kind man
That walks the land
Here! Hear!
It’s time to hear
Dismissing of all you fear
Wake up
And make a stand
Rise Up
And make it clear

]]>ABOUT THE SONG
This song is about the 10,000 missing migrant children held captive by the Trump administration.
Immigrant advocates said they are suing the U.S. government, claiming it is detaining immigrant children too long and improperly refusing to release them to relatives. A federal lawsuit filed last year in Alexandria, Virginia, was expanded on to propose including the cases of more than 10,000 children.

No, don’t suppose I’d pose
… No, don’t suppose I’d pose
Anyway, not for pay
Are we all about the sellout
Pose for pay? No way!
The invincible
Matter of principle
It’s not a matter of wealth
Rather: “Could I live with myself?”
ABOUT THE SONG
This is a song about playing the halftime show at the Super Bowl without taking a knee.
You say, “Football is not suppose to be political?”
A: Racism isn’t suppose to be political. Why not take the racism out of football?

“They go right to the easiest part and the weakest part,
sometimes out in desert.
… they drive out into the desert,
and they come on,
they make a left turn.
….. very important”
They make a right turn going very quickly,
they go into the desert areas or whatever areas you can look at,
and as soon as there’s no protection,
they make a left or a right into the United States of America.
There’s nobody to catch ‘em, there’s nobody to find ‘em.
They can’t come through the port,
because if they come through the port,
people will see: four women!
Sitting in a van! With tape around their face”
—again, he gestured to his own face—
“and around their mouth. Can’t have that.”

What is the meaning
Of meaning
Has it been bleeding
Receding from truth
In need of a tourniquet
With etiquette
You know
To stop the flow
The fears
Of “up to our ears”
In bull$hit
Can you hear it?
I wonder
If you’ve gone under
For a bit?

Dear Mr. Reaper,
Can I call you Grim?
Not much of a sleeper
Mind if I keep goin’?
I gotta dig deeper
Before you dig deeper
Who knows
Maybe I’m a keeper
I surmise
I won’t participate
In my own demise
Not a believer in fate
On to the next sunrise
